Alfa Romeo made a name for itself in the E-car market. “E” being an abbreviation for “executive cars,” which is another name for “saloon” cars, which is another name for “sedans,” which is another name for “three-box” cars, which is the designation for cars built with three separate compartments (engine, passengers, trunk). Clear as mud?

The beauty of the 2000 is that it’s deceptively fast. Don’t let that classic sedan styling fool you. This car goes from zero-to-60 in 8.9 seconds and boasts a top speed of 117mph. It looks like the type of car you’d drive to work – and performs like the type of car you need when you’re late for work.

Inside the very traditionally looking exterior is an avant-garde interior that wouldn’t look out of place in today’s sedans. The bucket seats, three-spoke sport steering wheel, and competition gauges make you want to loosen your tie and throw on your driving gloves. And because it’s a sedan, there’s plenty of room for you and three colleagues to go out for a long lunch. More importantly, there’s plenty of giddiyup for you to sneak out of the office early and zoom away for the weekend.
